Family Counselling

Family counselling is a type of psychological counselling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. It is often short-term but varies depending on the case. It may include all family members or just those able or willing to participate. Your specific treatment plan will depend on your family's situation. Family counselling sessions can teach you skills to deepen family connections and get through stressful times, even after you're done going to therapy sessions.  At Lakeshore Counselling, family counselling is provided by a registered social worker.

Why Family Counselling?

Family counselling can help improve troubled relationships between partners, children or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or as a family unit​. Family counselling can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn coping skills to bring you closer together.
